Well, it was a setup. Ukranian secret services staged his murder in order to lure the would-be murderer out, and it worked! They apprehended a guy who was meant to kill Babchenko. And the whole sting operation was so secret that not even Babchenko’s wife knew about it, which of course meant that he had to apologize to her.

#Babchenko: "Special apologies to my wife. Olechka, I am sorry, but there were no options here. The operation took two months to prepare. I was told a month ago. As a result of the operation, one person has been captured, he is being held."
